A platform and expression of our All being One to be used for spiritual encouragement and counseling, a meeting place to network with other people who have a desire to Love and give of themselves to their neighbor in practical ways and to restore a remembrance of our common unity with everyone and helping to meet the needs we see around us. This is a place for connecting others who have expressed their need, with those who are inspired to give help to their brother and sister. To give and to receive is one Truth. We are promoting the sharing of our Life with each other, though you can only give to yourself. We are all One. We have a place for meeting, for encouragement, sharing music, street feedings for the homeless, a library with scheduled seminars/workshops. Eventually, we want to offer a free clothes closet, a shower, C.R., and laundry.

Vicente is a fisherman from Talicud Island who lost his leg due to infection. He would like to get an artificial below knee leg to help him walk, as he uses crutches to walk now and it is difficult getting around on uneven ground. The cost of his artificial leg is 7000Php, which he will be measured for and receive from a prosthetic technician at Davao Doctor’s Hospital named Majie in the Orthopaedic clinic there. This cost includes his travel from Talicud Island to Davao and back from Davao Doctor’s for the measurement and fitting of the left below knee prosthestic leg and shoe. You can contribute what you feel in your heart to give; any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your donation to help Vicente be able to walk better! As soon as the funds are raised, Vicente will travel to Davao and be measured and then fit with the new leg after one week for fabrication time. If you are interested to help, please contact this email: freedalyf@gmail.com - Thank you very much!
